My understanding is we're rewriting this eventually, but this is a stopgap set of edits to correct old/outdated information.
Visual Records:
Ask
Roget or
Accelerando for the password.
This is now outdated as it's open registration. Also fixed an is/are.
Can I kill SCP-XXX? Of course you can. In a story, not in an article. Anything can happen in your stories, because there is no canon.
Changed "Story" to "Tale" for the sake of standardizing the jargon.
What happens when I write a SCP article/story/creepypasta that people don't like? Once it hits -10, a member of senior staff will call for a deletion on the article's discussion page. If they can get three other members of Senior staff to agree to it, the page is deleted. If there is discussion, and someone thinks it can be saved, we go from there. See the Deletions Guide for more information.
Removed "senior" as all staff have this ability including junior staff, moderators and administrators.
Man, I really want to delete my own article. Can I do it myself, or do I have to wait for it to hit -10 and for the four senior staff members to agree to delete it?
Removed "senior", same reasoning.
In the Chat Guide, you tell us to avoid talking about politics and religion and firearms and My Little Pony. Why?
Removing MLP as it's no longer in the Chat Guide.
Staff Etiquette:
Who are the Senior Staff?
Giving this a bit of a rewrite in light of the new position, and explained as well as I can. If anything I did needs adjusting, this is probably it, so take a look. There's a lot of mention of Operational Staff these days but i'm still not clear on who qualifies for that so I've omitted any mention of it for now. Also clarified a bit on who handles what.
No mods are around! Who are some people to ask for help? It might actually be better if you just waited until a member of Senior Staff was around.
Staff.
When a mod says "Stop" they mean, "Talk louder and more stupid", right? Were you dropped on your head a lot as a child, while eating paint chips, underneath powerlines? If a member of the Senior Staff tells you to stop, you stop, then and there.
Staff.
What is a -ARC? An archived SCP. One that might not be real good, but is kept around because either the Senior Staff like it, or it has been used in other stories.
Staff, I'm aware this is going away but just keeping it consistent.
So I have this great idea to make an article better, I can just dive in and change whatever I want, right? Absolutely not. While this is a wiki, we're a little bit more strict on who can edit what than most wikis. Spelling is generally okay. Grammar… if it's something that doesn't change intent, it's okay, but not everyone has perfect grammar. Adding, taking away, or otherwise altering any article is not okay without consent from the author, or from senior staff if the author is missing.
Changing senior staff to rewrite team and linking to the team on 05.
All I got for now.
